General Question

How do redwood trees fit into the foodweb/what are their predators?

No internet source I’ve found yet has any information on the organisms that eat redwoods. Do they have any predators?
I suppose decomposers such as fungi eat redwoods, but other than that I can’t think of any other organism that eats these trees.

Ok, I figured it out myself. (as usual.)
Fungi decompose dead redwoods, and then (if the fungi is a non-poisonous mushroom) it may be eaten by a human or a mushroom-eating animal such as a deer. The deer may then be eaten by a cougar or mountain lion. When the cougar or mountain lion dies, a fungi such as a mushroom will decompose the body. The remains will eventually become soil, and a redwood tree could possibly grow on that soil and use the soil’s nutrients that came from the dead cougar or mountain lion. The cycle continues.

I suggest that you get in touch with the Big-Time, all-time redwood tree experts, the Save The Redwoods League. You can reach them at this address: Save The Redwoods League, 114 Sansome Street, Suite 1200, San Francisco, CA 94104–3823. You can call them at (415) 362–2352, or reach them online at SaveTheRedwoods.org.

Yes basically but I’m not against intelligent logging. It it is kind of painful when you see these behemoths felled though. It was a different time and place when nature was simply a resource to be exploited.

Those trees are so majestic. Talk about making one feel small. I traveled to the park over 30 years ago. You could get right up to the trees that were the biggest attractions then ( pun intended ). I am glad to see that they are fenced off now to protect their root system. @SeventhSense man was the worst predator & still is but the photos of the cavalry unit on the big tree & the “Log cabin” of the first two settlers were still pretty remarkable.Although I seem to remember both trees had died of natural causes& had fallen over of their accord.
